The book was written by Robert Hamill Nassau, an American Presbyterian missionary, within a Christian scope and prejudice concerning West African culture and spirituality, which were typical for the 19th and early 20th century. However, despite a nowadays anachronist and disturbing perspective, the book has remained most valuable for students of the occult, especially those interested in demonology, voodoo, hoodoo and its roots, African magick and religion, witchcraft, the classes of African spirits, and of course the spiritual and magickal use of a fetish. Particularly those students in magick who are interested in working with thought forms or familiars should pay attention to this book, as African fetichism resides in the borderland between animism and nature spirit worship and the magickal animation of an object as it is taught by teachers as Franz Bardon and Raven Grimassi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVAMzzz Publishing republished this book, not because we share the view of the colonist and missionary, but apart from the historical backgrounds of voodoo, for the cheer preservation of valuable magickal root information, and because Africa is too often neglected and underrated in this context by the modern practitioner of magick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAMzzz Occult Bookstore Global","offers":[{"title":"ENG- English","offer_id":54639324365139,"sku":"9789492355188","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1092\/1302\/4595\/files\/018_fetichism_cover.jpg?v=1787232100"},{"product_id":"asteroiden-gids","title":"Asteroïden-gids","description":"\u003ch3\u003e950 Astrologische betekenissen van Asteroïden, Centauren, Cubewano’s, Damocleïden, Neptunus-resonanten, Plutino’s, SDO’s en Trojanen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Asteroïden-gids is het eerste grote astrologische naslagwerk ter wereld dat de duidingen in de horoscoop behandelt van 15 categorieën nieuwkomers in de astrologie.

Astrological research points out that most Plutinos, like their godfather Pluto, exert a compelling force in both personal and mundane horoscopes. They are radical, transforming, confronting, they penetrate the darkness, the blur, or daily life patterns and have a Scorpio-like preference for what you might call soul-mining. They trigger the awareness of slumbering patterns in the depths of our souls and force us to face the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Plutinos are “isolating” one or two classic Plutonian keywords, such as: intensifying, dark, transforming, cutting away dead wood, letting go, death, discharging, imploding, violence, criminality, rebellion, dirt, sex, penetration, psychopaths or the occult. Strong transits, to or from these slow moving asteroids, can act as serious turning points in our lives. Negatively, several Plutinos exacerbate those qualities belonging to the darker side of Pluto and its sign Scorpio.
